Associate professor of history at Florida International University, Daniel A. Cohen is author of Pillars of Salt, Monuments of Grace: New England Crime Literature and the Origins of American Popular Culture, 1674-1860.
"The woeful yet exciting tale of Lucy Brewer, girl adventurer, puts an unexpected twist on the classic seduction narrative, and its multiple editions and sequels have confused historians for nearly two centuries: was the story truth or fiction? Daniel A. Cohen's painstaking account of the construction of the tale is a model for how historians evaluate and authenticate evidence."--Patricia Cline Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara "As a text for classroom adoption, The Female Marine is wonderfully readable and intellectually provocative. It should find ready audiences in scholars and students working on women's history, American culture, and cross-dressing."--Elizabeth Young, Mount Holyoke College
